exception when trying to call webservice

Question

I am getting the below exception when trying to call service from SOAPUI. When I open the endpoint in browser, it displays the wsdl fine.

WARN  org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain - Interceptor for {http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/}PaidClaimFacadeService has thrown exception, unwinding now

My Soap Request in SOAPUI :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:con="http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <con:findPaidClaims>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <Product>abc</Product>
      </con:findPaidClaims>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Soap Response in Soap UI:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Body>
      <soap:Fault>
         <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
         <faultstring>Message part {http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/}findPaidClaims was not recognized.  (Does it exist in service WSDL?)</faultstring>
      </soap:Fault>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and this is how I configured the jaxws:endpoint

<jaxws:endpoint id="paidClaimWs" implementor="#paidClaimFacadeImpl"
        address="/PaidClaimFacadeService" wsdlLocation="/wsdl/PaidClaimFacade.wsdl"
        serviceName="msg:PaidClaimFacadeService" endpointName="msg:PaidClaimFacadePort"
        xmlns:msg="http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/">
    </jaxws:endpoint>

Answer 1

I know this is quite old, but for some of you that stumble upon it: I've had the same problem, the cause? I had "old" WSDL loaded in my SOAPUI, while I changed some things in my "new" WSDL. Hence the problems, try reloading the WSDL in SOAPUI or deleting it and loading once again, then checking if you get the same error. Hope this helps someone!

Answer 2

This means that you are calling an operation which does not exits in your WSDL file.

{http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/}findPaidClaims was not recognized

This is your target name space: http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/ And this is your operation: findPaidClaims

If you'll check your WSDL you will see that there is no such operation like: findPaidClaims.

EDIT

Now the problem is clear. Your namespaces in WSDL file are wrong. This is fixed WSDL and it will work. I don't know if you run some validation of your WSDL file, but my IntelliJ show the errors. So I fixed them:

</wsdl:definitions>

The problem was that you had different namespace as your xmlns:tns and targetNamespace. Look closely at your WSDL.

xmlns:tns="http://contract.premdisc.hcsc.com/"
targetNamespace="http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/"

You see that in your file they are different, but they must be the same. And for your XSD you need to use different namespace. Something like:

xmlns:tns="http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/types"

As it was in your file:

xmlns:tns="http://contract.premsisc.usst.com/"
targetNamespace="http://contract.premdisc.hcsc.com/"

Ass you can see they are also different. Compare the file I fixed and your file and will see the difference. Try it with fixed file and it will work.
